Madrid want Dzeko.
Edin Dzeko has emerged as a surprise target for Spanish giants Real Madrid, according to The Sun.

Dzeko has only scored six goals since his high profile move and with talk of more strikers arriving at Eastlands; he could find himself out in the cold.
The lumbering striker was originally a target for Madrid but he signed a 4½-year-deal with the Sky Blues, however, he has since struggled to adapt to the pace of the Premier League.
